- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>- To assess the successful placement of the intervention nasogastric oxygen<br /><br>delivery tube.<br /><br>- To assess the tolerance and feasibility of the intervention nasogastric<br /><br>oxygen delivery tube for oxygen administration during the first 5 days after<br /><br>surgery.<br /><br>- To assess the amount of discomfort patients have of the extra nasogastric<br /><br>tube.<br /><br>- To monitor the intraluminal pressure via the oxygen delivery tube and<br /><br>keep it under 20 mmHg</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>- To explore the safety of the administration of intraluminal oxygen via an<br /><br>extra nasogastric tube at the site of the anastomosis in patients who underwent<br /><br>an esophagectomy (bleeding, gastric tube distention).<br /><br>- To what extent does the administration of intraluminal oxygen at the site of<br /><br>the anastomosis effect theanastomotic leak rate in patients who underwent an<br /><br>esophagectomy?(normal rate 20%)</p><br>
